During our annual membership meeting, we welcomed new leadership in these key positions:
• Rebecca Burkman – Secretary

Though they may look flushable, wipes are not toilet paper – and flushing them causes costly damage to wastewater infrastructure. That’s why the U.S. House of Representatives has passed the bipartisan WIPPES Act (H.R. 2269), which mandates standardized “Do Not Flush” labeling for these products. Click here for more information from NACWA:

The U.S. House of Representatives this week passed the bipartisan Wastewater Infrastructure Pollution Prevention and Environmental Safety (WIPPES) Act (H.R. 2269). The bill, led by Reps. Lisa McClain (R-Mich.) and Kevin Mullin (D-Calif.), now awaits passage by the full U.S. Senate.
